Chapter 3: Analog Port Operation

Controlling Your System at the Analog Port

The RCM includes an analog port on the back of the unit that allows you to 

connect a monitor and a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct analog access. 

The RCM uses the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting interface 

(OSCAR

®

) for IBM, which utilizes intuitive menus to configure your system 

and select computers.

Viewing and Selecting Ports and Servers

Use the OSCAR Main dialog box to view, configure and control servers in 

the RCM system. You can view your servers by name, port or by the unique 

electronic ID number (eID) embedded in each CO cable. You will see an 

OSCAR-generated Name list by default when you first launch OSCAR. 

The port column indicates the ARI port to which a server is connected. If you 

connect a legacy KVM switch to the RCM, the port numbering displays the 

ARI port first, then the port to which the server is connected. For example, in 

Figure 3.1, servers 06-03 and 01-02 are connected to legacy switches. 

To access the Main dialog box:

Press 

Print Screen 

to launch OSCAR. The Main dialog box appears.

-or-
If a password has been assigned, the Password dialog box appears. Type in 
your password and click 

OK

. The Main dialog box appears. For more 

information, see

 Setting console security

 in this chapter.

NOTE:
